in Japan it's a yakuza sponsored thing and sometimes due to gang wars Halloween is canceled
I cannot predict my neighborhood at all on Halloween. Some years I can barely sit down and one time I had to buy more candy. Others are like this year where I had a grand total of 3 groups of trick or treaters.
The myth of the "liberal media" really breaks down when you've got the Paper Of Record running tell-all interviews with the embittered primary loser and her mad fiancé (why???) three days before the election.
Jeff (Hot Type) Jarvis@jeffjarvis.bsky.social · 22h agoWhy the #BrokenTimes can't stop talking about anybody opposing El-Sayed. The "frank interview" starts over a bowl of matzo-ball soup. Next Stevens will announce that she's both Jewish and Black.
Wow! A [Coconut]! Thanks, new farmer in town of a gender I’m attracted to. It’s just what I always wanted…
Watergate taught the press that the cover up is worse than the crime. They dont know what to do when there is no coverup
Continue to be amazed that "doing it in the open" was the one weird trick to unlimited presidential corruption and criminality.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 14h agoRemember that we were told that it was an immense scandal when *former* President Bill Clinton met privately with Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch. But now the current president is ordering his own AG to initiate prosecutions against the president's political enemies right out in the open.
'Star Trek' actor Wil Wheaton tells Stephen Miller to keep Patrick Stewart's name out of his 'Nazi mouth': "He despised you, and everything you stand for."
This story on spoiler candidates funded by Turning Point PAC in Arizona from the N.Y. Times! Oh, no wait. I'm sorry, it's not from the NYT. It's from the @azmirror.com. And the DOJ is investigating! Oh, no wait, I'm sorry again. The DOJ isn't doing shit here because it was to siphon Dem votes.
Matthew Boedy@matthewboedy.bsky.social · yesterdayTurning Point’s PAC “spent thousands of dollars telling voters to support a “sham” Green Party candidate for governor who is facing two investigations for campaign finance fraud.” azmirror.com/2026/10/30/c...
I really need el-Sayed to win. Because then we can put this 'we need to be transphobic' to win bullshit to bed
It’s all well and good to say “oh we don’t have to agree with EVERYTHING” but everyone has their own line. Some people might hear the phrase “no boys in girls sports” as a “fair compromise” but to me it sounds like “being trans is a pretend lifestyle” and that is deeply offensive.
it's honestly why i won't shut up about it. i'm not going to be part of the cis mob willing to throw trans people under the bus so i can drink more mimosas at brunch on sundays or whatever

They REALLY need to know that transphobia is a turnoff to more than just trans people. If they’re ok with sacrificing trans rights now, they’ll be ok with sacrificing more and more people’s rights. Stop this shit nowwwwwww.
First they came for Ilhan Omar—and forty House Democrats didn’t do jack shit.

I never in my wildest dreams imagined a time when tg smut preferences would be a political statement and pushed by official government channels. Shit, it was weird enough reading about Fictionmania in Nevada.
Manisha Krishnan@manishakrishnan.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Dept of Education posted a right-wing "Malfoid" meme (fanfic about Harry falling for a gender-swapped Draco who is obsessed with "blood purity"). When we asked about it, they quoted Dumbledore. @michaelamakusha.bsky.social gets into it here: www.wired.com/story/it-sur...
When the Allied armies liberated the Nazi death camps, some allied generals found that thousands of queer and trans people were among the condemned people there. The generals left them there to die. I'm not joking. www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/li...
April 29, 1945: Liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp, Except LGBTQ+ Prisoners

Sir Ian McKellen has made a statement on the tragic passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. “He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.”
Good night, sweet prince. I can think of nothing more Patrick Stewart than his appearance on Sesame Street, matching a wry wit with Shakespearean perfection. Never met him, wish I had.
On a more serious note of remembering Patrick Stewart, let's not forget his advocacy for men's responsibility in ending domestic violence. And compassion for victims of PTSD

Rest in peace, our Captain. Like many people, my true entree into Trek was with Patrick Stewart at the helm of the Enterprise. Life changing for me and so many. I am grateful. And I am sad.

I was gobsmacked when that was the lesson in Dead Talents Society. I don't think I'd ever seen anyone ever say, "it's okay to be average" before that.
Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is actually something I tell students: in a world that tells us we must all strive for "excellence" we must do the best we can, but also be okay when we find out we are just middling. The vast majority of us are just middling--including myself in this--I think its important to be okay with that

I logged into a social media app I rarely use to check something specific and there were a bunch of red dots saying I had unseen items! I clicked, saw it was unimportant garbage, and just continued on my way. I cannot believe that all the noise has trained me out of needing the dot to go away.
